Chemo: Short Term Pain Long Term Gain!

Two down and ten more to go. Chemotherapy Cycle 1 Day 15 (round 2) is complete and can be crossed off the list. There is no getting around the reality that chemotherapy is difficult. As much positivity as anyone can bring to the party, there is just a painful reality that your body is physically compromised during the treatment.  Still, this is a burden worth embracing, to be wrestled to the ground, raised up over my head and held high in the light of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. And with him, trusting in a stiffened resolve . . . to #crushit and to win . . . a short term pain focused on a long term gain! As Coach K recently tweeted, “Faith makes things possible, not easy.”

  2. Hi Bob! Great – two down! We are all praying for you! We did hear something in a sermon at church he in London and I thought it was great…. the Minister said there was a time when he was going through a bad time – and he was told (by a friend) no matter what the outside circumstance looks like (whether it’s looking bad/or we are celebrating in the good) “Just ALWAYS put your hope in the Lord” – all the time … Anyway, it’s been a good reminder that in bad times and even just as importantly in good times – our focus should ALWAYS be in the HOPE OF THE LORD! Sort of like a mantra – just continuing to align our focus on Him. The Minister said that even after he got well and was celebrating … his friend reminded him of the same advice… “Always put your HOPE IN THE LORD!” Anyway, it was helpful to me so thought maybe you might enjoy it too. Anyway, simple stuff – but so easy to take our eyes off him and get caught up elsewhere. We all miss and love you Bob!

    1. Lee, Thanks very much for the prayers and sharing the message from church yesterday. I”m with the minister’s message 110% 24/7/365! Isaiah 12:2 “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation.”
